Gunshot injury, the second leading cause of death among U.S. adolescents (10-19 years old), appears to be the end result of a causative web of factors including alcohol, firearms, and conducive surroundings and environments. With NIH funding, we are conducting a population-based case-control study in Philadelphia to investigate how the nature and whereabouts of adolescents' daily activities relate to the likelihood of being shot in an assault. Cases are gunshot injury patients recruited from Emergency Departments, and healthy controls are recruited using random digit dial. Each subject is interviewed using portable, computerized mapping technology, to create a dynamic graphic that provides a minute-by-minute record of how, when, where, and with whom the subject spent time over the course of the past 24 hours as he or she walked or otherwise traveled from location to location and activity to activity. Cases refer to the 24-hours preceding the shooting; controls refer to a recent 24-hour period designated at random. Each subject also reports their activities including use of alcohol and firearms that day. Afterward, characteristics of streets, buildings, and neighborhood populations are linked into each subjects' space-time activity path. The protocol and methodologic approaches to this innovative space-time analysis will be presented. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
